This brand-new boat is built and available for immediate delivery, offering premium features and space for the modern boater. With generous deck capacity, overnight accommodation, and an offshore-ready hull, the Karnic R8-S is an ideal solution for those who demand more from their on-water experience.
Karnic R8-S – Superior Hull Design for Confident Cruising
At 8.40 metres in overall length with a beam of 2.45 metres, the Karnic R8-S delivers excellent stability and handling across a range of sea conditions. The hull length of 7.50 metres and deep-V design ensures a smooth, dry ride, supported by an impressive freeboard height of 1.21 metres at the bow and 0.98 metres aft.
Whether you’re navigating offshore swells or relaxing at anchor in a secluded cove, the Karnic R8-S provides comfort, control, and security. Its CE Design Category C certification allows for safe coastal cruising with up to 9 passengers aboard—ideal for families, groups, or entertaining.
Power, Range, and Offshore Versatility
The Karnic R8-S is configured for high-performance outboard power, supporting a 25” shaft and up to 300HP maximum engine output. This powerful setup ensures excellent acceleration, cruise efficiency, and versatility across both short and extended outings.
Fuel autonomy is a standout feature on the Karnic R8-S, with a generous 285-litre tank supporting longer-range travel without frequent stops. The boat also includes a 60-litre fresh water tank and a 35-litre holding tank, supporting extended day use or overnight stays onboard.
Weighing approximately 1,760 kg, the Karnic R8-S balances structural strength with trailerable practicality (depending on local regulations and equipment), making it a flexible option for mobile boating across Europe.
Smart Deck Layout and Cabin Accommodation
The Karnic R8-S offers one of the most intelligent deck configurations in its class. A deep cockpit (0.84 metres), wide beam, and extended hull length result in abundant space for dining, lounging, or watersports preparation. High freeboards, ergonomic seating, and easy deck access provide a secure environment for all ages.
Below deck, the Karnic R8-S includes a compact yet comfortable cabin, with sleeping accommodation for two adults. This makes it an ideal choice for couples or small families seeking occasional overnight capacity. Storage solutions, an enclosed toilet compartment, and the option to add galley amenities elevate the onboard liveability.
Premium Styling with Practical Benefits
The Karnic R8-S embodies modern European marine styling—clean, angular lines, flush-mounted windows, and a premium helm layout. Walkaround access to the bow, non-slip decking, and sturdy grab rails reinforce onboard safety.
The versatile aft deck design includes convertible seating, sunbed extensions, and access to the swim platform. Buyers can also configure the Karnic R8-S with optional extras like a T-top, fridge, bimini, or full canvas enclosure to suit seasonal or regional boating preferences.
